The Harrow defence had no answer to Amble’s forwards as the visitors ran out comfortable winners at the final whistle to keep up the pressure at the top of the table. Prolific scorers Liam Ramsay, with a hat-trick, and Reece Ramsay, with two, were the St Cuthbert marksmen.

Springhill 5 Wooler Reserves 0

Springhill kept in touch with the top two clubs after this win over Wooler. David Jardine, Colin Young and Ritchie Green had given them half-time lead and they made sure of the points when David Jardine, with his second, and an own-goal completed the scoring.
